is sorry, I have never heard of it.
"Junior Chen Guan."
"Well, I have seen your performance, it is very good. Even in my time, there are not many young people who can compare with you. What's more rare is that your soul perception is far beyond your peers. You are a good seedling."
"Senior, you are too kind."
Chen Guan was praised and blushed.
He was confident in his qualifications, but he was not so arrogant that he thought he was the best.
Other special physiques such as the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils and the Evil Poison Body were not to be viewed with common sense.
But he was still within common sense.
"Hehe, kid Chen, have you ever heard of a puppet master, or puppetry?"
"I dare not hide it from you, senior. I have never heard of a puppet master. In the current Douqi Continent, only the alchemist is still popular among the special professions. Other professions, such as weapon refiners, spirit wine masters, etc., have almost been cut off from inheritance. Puppetry has some legacy. As far as I know, some major forces still have the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet."
Heavenly Puppet Sect, Heavenly Demon Puppet.
Chen Guan didn't know if there was a connection between the two, so he mentioned it on purpose.
Without receiving the reminder of the suicide note, and the feeling after contact, Chen Guan let down some of his vigilance towards this Versailles old man and trusted him more.
The main reason was that there was no other way. He looked very awesome at first glance. If he really had any intentions towards him, could he resist?
He didn't have a golden finger that was so powerful, but was just an ordinary person with relatively good talent.
Hearing that only the alchemist profession was left to be inherited, Shu Tianhe felt a little disappointed, but soon sneered with contempt.
"Heavenly Demon Puppet? It's just a little bit of unorthodox, how can it be called the real puppetry? There are unorthodox techniques far more powerful than Heavenly Demon Puppet in our Heavenly Puppet Sect, but they still haven't been included in the orthodoxy. We are upright puppet masters. Even the alchemists were very polite to us at the beginning. After all, no matter how deep the connections are, they can't be used at any time, but puppets are different. With a puppet made by our Heavenly Puppet Sect, I feel safe."
Shu Tianhe opened the conversation box and talked non-stop like pouring beans, boasting about the puppet master's omnipotence.
Have you ever seen such a talkative master?
The young man's perception changed silently.
But I have to say that it sounds really attractive. According to the old man, some advanced puppets can even be made to be like ordinary people, able to speak, work independently, and have very good combat effectiveness. They are full of spirituality, just like clones, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
In today's Douqi Continent, no one would believe it if they were told out, and it has exceeded the scope of understanding.
"It's truly a work of art. I'm sure this kind of puppet cannot be made by an ordinary puppet master, senior..."
"Ahem, you think too highly of me. Although I had a heavenly soul back then, I couldn't refine such a divine puppet. Even the required ninth-grade materials were difficult to gather. According to the records of my Tiangui Sect, only the first sect master had succeeded in refining it. After that sect master passed away, people in the outside world mistook the divine puppet for the sect master. It wasn't until more than a thousand years later that they discovered the problem. By that time, our new generation of sect masters had already grown up."
"It's a pity that there is no immortal inheritance. My Tiangui Sect was the first to be hit by the expansion of the imperial clan. All the puppet masters were killed or injured. The sect master had no choice but to break up the inheritance and flee. As for the part about refining the divine puppet, only the sect master knew it. Now that I'm dead, the others must be gone too. The true puppet master inheritance will never be gathered again."
Shu Tianhe sighed, but the sadness was not very strong. Over the long years, he had already let go of many things.
"But even so, as long as you grasp some of the essence of puppet master, it will be enough for you to benefit for the rest of your life
. Chen boy, are you willing to join my Tiangui Sect and pass on the puppet master for me?" He finally got to the point. At this time, only a fool would say no, and the situation did not allow him to refuse.
Chen Guan was straightforward and bowed his head, answering with action.
"Disciple Chen Guan, hello to the teacher."
It doesn't matter whether he flatters or not. Chen Guan just couldn't bear to see the other person alone, no, a soul continued to stay at the bottom of this dark lake and suffer the torture of time, really.
Unfortunately, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support his parents but they are not there, Chen Guan's filial piety is doomed to fail.
Shu Tianhe laughed heartily, "Hahaha, get up quickly, I am a master who can accept a successor before my soul completely dissipates, which is also a regret in this life. It's a pity that I am not a good teacher and can't teach you in person. All I can leave you is a little experience and some things of low value."
As if afraid that he would regret it, Shu Tianhe acted decisively and pointed at Chen Guan's eyebrows, pouring all the inheritance into his mind.
Then, the ring on the skeleton's hand fell off and was delivered to Chen Guan.
After doing this, Shu Tianhe's already transparent soul became more illusory, and it was almost impossible to maintain a human form.
A huge amount of information flowed into his mind, how to refine various puppets, experience, and even a method of soul cultivation.
It is conceivable how valuable it is, but at this time, Chen Guan no longer had the mind to check it carefully.
Holding the dark blue ring, a small bottle made of special material was very eye-catching, with more than ten grains of light yellow dust constantly rising and falling.
In today's Douqi Continent, the preciousness of this thing is even higher than that of an ordinary eighth-grade elixir!
"Teacher, this should be the soul-pregnant dust, it has a great effect on the soul, teacher..."
"It's useless. The soul-pregnant dust is not omnipotent. It is indeed useful for maintaining and restoring the soul, but its main function is to nurture the soul and enhance the spiritual energy within the soul so that it can step into the spiritual realm. It is best to use it when you touch the threshold of the spiritual realm. It is harmless to use it in advance."
"My teacher was a soul in the heavenly realm back then. It has limited effect on me. When I was young, thanks to the formula mastered by the Tiangui Sect, I recruited an eighth-grade alchemist guest. Therefore, I used a lot of soul-pregnant dust. After my death, I used a few more. The effect became worse and worse, until it was completely useless. You just keep it. With it, you can enter the spiritual realm faster. Our puppet masters' requirements for souls are no worse than those of alchemists."
Chen Guan was a little unwilling. This result was quite annoying.
The teacher he just worshipped was about to die, and he was not mentally prepared at all. If he had the intention of pulling a backer before, then at this moment he was respecting him from the bottom of his heart and wanted to keep him.
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. This teacher is really good to him.
"Teacher, I read in a book that there is a pharmacist whose body was destroyed and whose soul was in a similar situation as yours, but he could slowly recover by absorbing fighting spirit. You might as well absorb mine. After I get out, I can find herbs to repair the soul."
"Good disciple, I am very happy that you have this intention, but this method is useless to me. My soul should have dissipated long ago. I have regretted it all these years. I have tried all kinds of means to drag it to today. My soul has been fragile, like a piece of porcelain that has been weathered for countless years. It will break at the touch. There is no way to save it."
"You don't have to be sad for me. I am very satisfied with my life. Now even the last regret has been made up. God has been kind to me."
"While I can still hold on for a few days, you should start learning puppetry so that I can guide you and help you reach the fourth-level puppet master as soon as possible. Only then can you leave this place."
Chen Guan looked up with doubt in his eyes.
However, Shu Tianhe smiled awkwardly and explained, "When my soul was still strong, I was arrogant and left a mark outside. This is a test for my future successor. At that time, I insisted that if you couldn't even reach the fourth-level puppet master, you were not worthy of being the successor of my Tiangui Sect, so you didn't need to go out and embarrass yourself. I didn't expect that after so many years, except for you, only that little snake found this place."
Shu Tianhe was very embarrassed. After all, from a certain perspective, this was considered a pitfall for his own apprentice.
The mark was left, but when you wanted to remove it, you didn't have the ability to do it, which was very embarrassing.
"Can't you break it by force? I see that there are still some puppets in the teacher's ring."
"Well, I have poured the whole stone chamber with Tianwai Xuantie mixed with copper essence. It is almost impossible to break it by force without Dou Zong strength. The remaining puppets, the strongest can only be three-star Dou Huang, so this road is blocked. Unless you can break through Dou Zong quickly, there is only this way."
Chen Guan opened his mouth and was speechless to this somewhat unique teacher.
It turned out that all the arrangements were borne by him alone in the end. The sadness in his heart was diluted by silence
. "Teacher, you are so free."
"Hehe, practice, kid Chen, I am optimistic about you. With your soul strength and the help of the soul-forming dust, it is not difficult to continuously improve your skills and become a fourth-level puppet master. You will soon reach that level."
